The two creatures left after getting me cleaned up and even getting me some clothing. I don’t know how long it has been, but it has felt as if I have been here forever, as I waited for the one who sent me here. My head was spinning with possibilities, yet I couldn’t fathom who would send me here.
Or at least I could imagine who would have the ability to do so. It wasn’t that I didn’t have enemies, I had a lot, more than I probably even realized. For the life of me though, I couldn’t rack my brain about who it could be.
“Oh good, you are up.” I heard the same female voice from earlier say.
Turning around, I looked in the direction of where the voice came from but I couldn’t see anyone. I remembered that I couldn’t see outside of the cage, which was annoying as hell. Stepping towards the side of the cage I was sure the female was at, I placed my hands on the bars.
“Who is there?” I asked into the darkness.
“It matters not who I a

Caleb- I hated the fact I had to go to such extreme measures to ensure Kyra didn’t take out the feeding tube. What was worse was the fact that her tears now weren’t from losing Hunter. She was crying as she cursed my name. It hurt more than I cared to admit to anyone, but I still felt as if I was doing the right thing. It has only been twenty-four hours since tying her down and forcing her to eat and drink through a tube. Just in that short amount of time though, I could already tell she was getting stronger. Luckily Nick was able to get some power dampeners to keep Kyra from using her abilities. She hasn’t attempted to shift yet, which was a relief. I was trying to come up with a way to keep her from shifting as well, for when she did try though. She wasn’t like other werewolves, so the same tactics didn’t work on her. I had contacted Alec and told him what I had to do. He wasn’t exactly thrilled with it, but he said it was probably for the best. He

Kyra- Guilt slammed into me as soon as Caleb walked out. It wasn’t like I meant the words I had said, but at the same time, I did. I wanted to hurt him, so I lashed out at him. Maybe if I hurt him enough he would be willing to let me die. More than anything I just wanted to be done with this world. Without Hunter, I felt more alone than I ever have. How was I supposed to survive without the one that I loved more than anything in this world? “You can’t die.” I heard Ace speak into my mind. It was still weird that he was here, but he was also the one tie that I had to Hunter. The only thing I didn’t like was that he wasn’t here all the time. It was like one minute he would be with me, the next he would be gone. “I can’t live without him.” I cried, except I spoke out loud. “You still have me. I can’t lose you.” Ace spoke, his words cutting through my heart. “You keep leaving me. That hurts the worst. I feel like maybe you are just

Caleb- I didn’t say a word as Kyra knelt over the toilet and cried. I wasn’t sure if this was a good sign or not. After taking some time to think things over, I thought maybe it was time I tried a different tactic. I still refused to let her die. It took everything in me not to let her see that I still didn’t want her to die. That was why I decided to use our life bond as leverage. With everything she has been saying, I wasn’t sure if it was going to work, but I had hoped that she didn’t really hate me. I figured if she remembered that I would die if she did, maybe she would reconsider her plan to give up. For a split second, I thought I saw regret in her eyes, just before she rushed into the bathroom. As I stood there, holding her hair back, I wasn’t sure. Her tears still gutted me. Not knowing what to do or say, I just kept silent as she cried and vomited. When she finally stopped and sat up, I released her hair, taking a step back. When she looked

Kyra- Watching Caleb, I realized I was feeling a lot better. There was something about just being around him that made me feel at ease. I still didn’t think I would ever get over losing Hunter, but maybe being around Caleb will help ease some of the pain. While he had been gone, I never thought I would see him again, it had been as if there was a part of me that was missing. To say that I missed him, was an understatement. Things may be complicated right now and I don’t feel like myself, but I shouldn’t have said the things I had to him. “I am sorry.” I repeated my earlier words. “For?” Caleb asked with a mouth full of ham and peanut butter. “I shouldn’t have said the thing I said. I don’t hate you and I am glad you are back.” I spoke. There was something that flashed in his eyes, but it was gone just as quickly. For a minute I thought maybe I had imagined it. It was like his eyes turned red for just a nanosecond. Keeping my attention

Caleb-I couldn’t believe I did that. It had been like I had no control over my actions. Okay, maybe I had full control and even knew what I was doing, I just don’t know why I had been driven to kiss her as I did. Of course, I wanted to kiss her, but she wasn’t my mate and she was going through a lot.Maybe I did need to talk to Nick about doing more for the pack. I have been so focused on Kyra since I have arrived that she was all I thought about. I still didn’t know if it was a good idea for me to become Alpha, but I definitely needed to do something to get Kyra out of my mind on occasions.Even during the time I was gone, she had been my biggest focus. Thinking now was the time I started redirecting my attention to other things for a change. After I left Kyra in the kitchen, I had gone straight outside to go for a run.That had been hours ago though, I still couldn’t bring myself to face Kyra. There wasn’t a doubt in

Kyra-I was pretty sure that at this rate, Caleb was ignoring me. It has been more than a day since he kissed me. Since then, he has stayed holed up in the guest room. Every time I have tried to talk to him, he has claimed to be busy.My emotions were a disaster, but at least it wasn’t about Hunter being gone. That still bothered me a great deal, but it was what Caleb did that was getting to me. The guilt I felt for enjoying it was my biggest issue.Barely less than a week ago I just lost my mate. I should still be grieving, at the very least trying to move on with my life. Yet I find myself thinking about the kiss Caleb and I shared, more than I should.Not to mention I have yet to talk to Ace since the kiss, so I was afraid of how he was going to respond. Then there was the worry that was plaguing me that Caleb was going to leave again. For a split second I thought that since he was back, things would return to the way they used to be. I would onc

Caleb-Stepping out of the doorway, I waited for Kyra to enter. She didn’t enter right away, I could see the look of hesitation on her face. After a few moments, she straightened her spine and walked in. Once she was seated on the foot of the bed, I started pacing inside the room.There wasn’t much in the room, besides a bed, nightstand, and a lamp. The paperwork Nick gave me, was currently scattered over the bed, where I had been going through it. The organization Nick had was terrible. None of the pages had been in the correct order and it was becoming a pain just trying to sort them out.“What is all this?” Kyra asked, picking up a piece of paper.“Not right now. If you really want to know, we should start at the beginning.” I said, still pacing in the room.“Okay. Then tell me what is going on with you. What happened to you after you left?” She asked, setting the paper down.“First I

Kyra-Hearing everything he was saying, I wasn’t sure what to make out of everything. Knowing he was going through all this alone, made my heartbreak. I wanted to keep interrupting him to ask more questions, but I wanted him to finish telling me.The fact he was never too far from me angered me though. Not because he didn’t tell me, it was because I never knew. If I hadn’t been so wrapped up in my life, would I have gone to find him? I always felt as if he were not too far from me, but I never went searching.While he was going through all of this, I was just going about my life. Granted, I didn’t know but I should have suspected something was wrong. I was starting to feel like it was just as much my fault as it was his that he left me.“Alec came to me and told me that you were going to need me. He wouldn’t tell me why, but I knew I had to return. It didn’t matter how far away I was, you were never a far thought.

Moon Princess and the Second Chance Epilogue: Artemis
Artemis-I was livid, beyond anything I have ever felt before. That bitch thinks she could talk to me like that and get away with it? What was worse was my father was here and grilling me about what I was doing.It wasn’t like he had any proof, since he had found me in my room, that I stayed in when I was back home with him. I had sent another attack on the bitch and her pack before I left, thinking they would be able to handle them. Now I learn they not only failed but my father’s men had killed them all off.I shouldn’t have sent them all, because now I won’t be able to create more of them. The only one I had to blame was the fucking Moon Princess. I guess me whispering sweet promises into others' ears all these years have been for nothing. I should have just killed her when she was a baby.Then none of this would have happened. First, I let a worthless Alpha think I would grant him anything he would ever desire by killing her. Then I had had to resort to dealing with the disgusting
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 107
Kyra- We arrived at my mother’s house and the first thing I did was look for Max. At least here I knew we were safe. It wasn’t like Artemis could reach us here, at least I didn’t think so. “Mommy!” Max’s voice rang out as he came running down the stairs. A rush of joy filled me at seeing his little body running toward me. Even in just a brief time, he has become very dear to me, like I have known him his entire life. The best thing was that he acted as if I had been his mother since day one as well. Before Max had a chance to place his little feet on the bottom step, I scooped him into my arms and held him close. My tears came in an instant, and this time I didn’t mind. I was beyond happy to see him and know he was safe. “Hey, my little guy.” I whispered as I buried my face into the crook of his neck. “Are we going home now?” He asked, his voice filled with so much excitement that it made my chest hurt. Allowing the hug to linger just a moment longer, I lowered myself to the flo
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 106
Kyra-I was glad we talked, although I knew there was still much to figure out. Hunter was practically a stranger to me now. In theory, he was the same man I fell in love with, but he was different as well.Looking at the two men in front of me, I couldn’t believe my life has come to this. All I wanted to do was hold them close to me always. I still couldn’t wrap my head around Hunter being back just yet either.“Get outside now!” I heard my brother Zac yell urgently from the front door.Not wasting any time, I jumped from the couch just as Hunter and Caleb stood up. Together we ran outside to see what was going on. Just as our feet hit the ground in front of the house, I was thrown forward by a blast that knocked me yards away, flat on my face.My ears started ringing and my head was spinning. I heard a faint yelling coming from somewhere, but I couldn’t make it out over the ringing that was going on in my head. Having been thrown forward onto my stomach, I turned to my side to place
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 105
Kyra- Once inside, Caleb, Hunter, and I all sat around the living room. We all kept our distance from one another, which had been my idea so it would allow me to not be distracted by either of them. They both seemed inclined to wait for me to speak, which meant we were currently sitting here in silence. I knew we needed to talk, but I suddenly had no idea what to say. Or rather I didn’t know where to start. It isn’t like it has been very long since Hunter died, so one might think it would be easy to just jump right in. The issue now was the fact he didn’t remember anything about our life together. I needed to figure out how to handle this. It was clear that Caleb was letting me call the shots where Hunter was concerned, yet I didn’t know what to do. “I guess the first thing we need to discuss is what happened. At least what you remember. It would be helpful to know what you know and don’t know.” I spoke after a long drawn out silence. “I have told you some already, but I suppose
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 104
Kyra- “This isn’t over.” Artemis’s eyes narrowed on me as if I had suddenly become her enemy. In a way, I guess it wasn’t anything sudden, since it sounds as if she has been gunning for my family for a while now. The only difference now is that I knew about it and I wasn’t going to let her get away with it. I didn’t care how much more powerful she was than I was. Thanks to Darius, I now had full range of my powers, which meant I wasn’t going to back down without giving her everything I had. I knew by the laws of the Gods I couldn’t do much to her, but at the same time, I didn’t care. She came after the ones I loved dearly, and I will be damned if I let her get away with it. If a fight is what she wanted, she would get just that. It seemed as if she was worried about attacking me directly, since she thought it was a good idea to use my first mate to get to Caleb and my mother. It made sense because of the fact that if she was involved directly it would go against the laws set by th
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 103
Kyra- It didn’t take long for my father to return, when he did, he looked grim. I was just about to say something to him, but he put his hand up to stop me. His eyes moved between me, Hunter, and Caleb before he returned his attention to me. “What I am about to tell you, you will probably hate me for. Before I begin, I need you to understand it was never my intention to hurt you or anyone. When I had done what I did, I had done so out of anger. When it was no longer an issue though, I had thought nothing of it and completely forgot what I had done.” Zeke spoke, his words giving me this sense that I wasn’t going to like what he had to say. “I am sorry for interrupting, but I should probably add that I did know…” Caleb’s words were cut off when my father interrupted him. “No, what I have to say is not your fault at all. I had asked you to keep it between us because I didn’t want to upset her.” Zeke paused as he took a deep breath and then redirected back to me. “I have been tryin
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 102
Kyra-I wished Darius was staying, but I understood his desire not to get mixed up in this war more than he has already been. It would have been nice to get to know him some more though. There was one thing I was completely sure about though, with Hunter, we would stand together and face this new threat, just as Caleb said.“Very well, but I do hope you are making the right choice. When the time is right, I will return to get to know you.” Darius spoke, his eyes harboring a bit of regret. He then turned to Zac and a wide smile appeared on his face. “It is good to see you brother, it has been a long time.”“Yes, it has.” Zac returned his smile and then moved to stand directly in front of Darius. “If I had known…” His voice trailed off as he looked down at the ground.“Don’t think another minute of it.” Darius shook his head and pulled Zac into a brotherly hug. “It probably would have happened to one of us eventually. Artemis will stop at nothing to get to our mother.”“You could have r
Moon Princess and the Second Chance Chapter 101
Caleb-I wasn’t completely shocked by Hunter being alive, but I was surprised when he showed up. I still remember when Zeke had told me what he had done. I didn’t think it had been possible for Hunter to return like this, yet I couldn’t deny that I was glad he was back.I fully admit that this had put a kink in things, especially where Kyra was concerned. Things were complicated right now, but I would do anything to make her happy. Currently that was keeping this weird-ass creature away from Hunter.As I watched Kyra help Hunter, I felt mixed emotions. The one thing that stood out above all else, was that I was happy to see them like this. With him not remembering this it was different, but the look on Kyra’s face made me feel as if she was now whole.It was like until Hunter arrived, she had been broken inside. I couldn’t wait for this mess to be over with so we could discuss what to do next. First, we needed to do something with these disgusting creatures.“Now, tell me what is goin
